Herman Edwards didn’t have a definitive answer yesterday when asked if he sees the same Curtis Martin he’s seen in previous years. Martin ran for 48 yards in a 16-13 loss to the Redskins on Thursday.

“We are going to wait a few weeks to find out,” Edwards said. “We will continue to run the ball; I think Curtis will be fine. We just missed a few blocks. There are blocks that you have to get, whether it is a lineman or a receiver, somewhere down the field to get that extra break.

“It’s about finishing some blocks and we don’t have a lot of plays,” Edwards went on, citing another problem that has plagued the team in the last two years. “We had 47 plays [in the game], and in the first half we had 20 plays to their 30 plays. We have to convert more on third down so we can have the opportunity to have more plays.”

The Jets were 3-of-12 converting third down into first down.

FS Jon McGraw suffered a concussion on the collision that knocked him out of the game in the first half, but Edwards said McGraw was “feeling a little better” yesterday, adding, “I think he will be ready to play next week [against Miami].”

The Jets, who are off until they resume practice Monday, have no other injuries.

Edwards will join MSG Network on a weekly basis, doing a spot every Monday afternoon beginning Sept. 8 on “Talk of Our Town” with hosts Bill Daughtry and Bob Wischusen between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Edwards also will offer a take on the previous day’s game every Monday night at 10 p.m. on “MSG SportsDesk” with NFL analyst Dave Jennings and hosts John Giannone and Curt Menefee.

QB Vinny Testaverde, who made his fifth consecutive Opening-Day start for the Jets, is 337 yards shy of the 40,000-yard mark for his career.

Testaverde, who turns 40 on Nov. 13, is trying to become the first 40-year- old QB to lead his team to the Super Bowl. He was the fourth-oldest quarterback to open an NFL season since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Seattle’s Warren Moon (41 years, 292 days), San Diego’s Johnny Unitas (40 years, 132 days) and Green Bay’s Zeke Bratkowski (39 years, 395 days) were older than Testaverde when they opened an NFL season as a starter. Testaverde opened the season Thursday night at 39 years, 295 days.

The Jets yesterday waived QB Marquel Blackwell and terminated the contract of G Brandon Moore from the practice squad. It’s believed the Jets plan to bring back journeyman backup QB Jamie Martin, whom they released last week in a salary-cap maneuver. Had Martin been on the roster for Thursday’s game, the Jets would have been required to pay him his entire 2003 salary even if he were released.

OT Will Ofenheusle, who was cut last week, was signed to the practice squad.

Edwards said rookie Brooks Bollinger will continue to be the No. 2 QB behind Testaverde.
